SEEKING PUBLIC INPUT ON FORMER BURLINGTON COLLEGE LAND

Your help is needed! CHT is working with Burlington City Community Housing LLC (BCCH), the City of Burlington, the Vermont Land Trust and their constituents in a planning process for potential site designs on 27.65 acres of land BCCH recently purchased from Burlington College. A core part of the process is to solicit the community’s feedback through an online survey and comments, as well as small group and public meetings. Please complete our online questionnaire and join us at our next public meeting on July 7, 2015.

This site is a critical, centrally located parcel, both geographically in the City of Burlington and in the memories of residents. Located west of North Avenue, the site is immediately north of Downtown Burlington and provides a link between the city’s commercial core, the New North End neighborhood, and the Old North End. The site includes approximately 1,200 linear feet of frontage along North Avenue, as well as over 930’ of beachfront just north of Texaco Beach that are accessed by an informal trail. There are 27.65 acres of undeveloped land and 6 acres of land that are occupied by Burlington College. The remainder of the site includes steep slopes, open fields, and forested zones, as well as community gardens.

Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey to tell us what you think!
